Patient's question:
Last night while taking a shower, I touched my testicles and felt a bit of pain. I got up earlier and seemed to have a fever, which got worse in the afternoon. I went to the hospital for a check-up and was told I have orchitis. I'm really very worried. Can orchitis be treated with surgery?Doctor's answer:
You should currently prioritize treating epididymitis, as impotence and premature ejaculation may be related to this condition. It is recommended to use traditional Chinese medicine for treatment. You can use Bupleurum, Radix Paeoniae Rubra, Fructus Meliae, Coptis Rhizoma, Semen Litchi, Semen Ponciri, Alisma, Gentiana Scabra, and Radix Gentianae Macrophyllae, along with Licorice Root, to decoct in water and take the decoction. Persistence in taking the medicine will lead to recovery from epididymitis. If local pain is significant, you can combine it with cold compress treatment. Orchitis can be cured, but the treatment process is generally slow, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, medications must be used according to symptoms. Additionally, it is recommended to maintain a healthy lifestyle and proper diet during treatment. We hope that male patients can recover as soon as possible.
